Language models understand text. Aionic Labs is developing AI that can also interpret time-dependent data from the real world, from heartbeats to information from power grids. The spin-off from the Agentic Systems Lab (D-MTEC) is among the ten finalists selected for Next Frontier AI, a European initiative to build the next generation of AI.
ETH Zurich, EPFL and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) have released Apertus 1.5, a new version of the fully open large language model. The update adds multimodal capabilities and stronger reasoning while advancing Switzerland’s vision of a growing open AI ecosystem.
A team comprising Johannes Schmitt and Tim Gehrunger, both postdoctoral researchers at the Department of Mathematics, has won the international First Proof Challenge. Their agent-based AI system solved six out of ten research-level mathematics problems, achieving the best overall performance in the competition.
